Is it possible to replace the diffuser in the headlamp?
One of my headlamp bulb just blew out and somehow the diffuser in the lamp changed the color from clear to blue, looks like it's got burned or something, the lights are still working but the beam pattern rite now is messed up, so I'm just wondering if it's possible to replace the diffuser in the lamp or I need to replace the whole lamp?
any info would be appreciated!
thanks alot!

You need to open up the light housing to replace the diffuser, not an easy job, do a search on clearing headlights. If your car is still under warranty I'ld see if the dealer would replace the entire unit.

Hey guys thx for the quick responses 
now the problem is the headlamp I'm talking about is actually my fog lamp, and I don't know if I can find the diffuser for the fog lamp cuz I got them from Taiwan, it uses H1 bulb so I'm just wondering are all the H1 diffuser are the same? like prelude is also using h1 bulbs so can I just get the lude diffuser and put them into my fogs? or they are all different sizes?
thx for the information!

im guessing although they might have the same bulb application, they probably have different housing... im pretty sure on this... for example, I think the TL and the CL has the same bulb application, but their diffusers in their headlight is different from the TL's...so no luck with that...sorry...just get the piaa 1700x foglights they are awesome, just installed them myself past weekend...
